For the past several years, public- minded citizens from the Townships of Reach, Cartwright and Scugog and the village of Port Perry have been plan- ning for the time when we could sub- stantially upgrade the medical facilities and services-available in this area. The result of their work in cooperation with the necessary agencies of the Ontario government is now before us . A new hospital site of approximately six acres has been purchased. The Ontario Hospital Services Commission has approved the size and layout of the new hospital building. All of the - groundwork has been carefully laid. There will be more than adequate park- ing facilities. Future expansion will be VR NR Sd els wa cal AL AAA FOSSA Si TA ant Ps SEE t's Up To The Citizens! wh RR 3% SL possible and the scenic values will be pleasant. ~ The cost of this most essential new facility? One million dollars. The nec- essary grants from the Ontario County, the Province of Ontario and the Fed- eral Government depend upon us, We must raise $250.000 as our community share to get this project rolling. I believe it true to say that one of the first arts created by man was the practical art of healing. In this century that art has progressed phenomenally so that today in Canada no man, woman or child is very far away from the soothing hands of highly competent medical care. We wish to ensure this for the Port Perry area for generations to come This month of September, 1966, marks the start of our financial cam- paign. May 1, 1967, is the target date for the construction to begin. January 7, 1968, is the day our project will begin to function as a modern social service in a modern rapidly growing area. . All of us must take part! May we | count on you? 50 YEARS AGO : Thurs, Sept. 28th, 1916 REMEMBER WHEN Thurs.., Sept. 28th, 1941 Reach Township Board of Check The Label SA On Your Paper BILL SMILEY SMILEY TAKES HIS STAND A chap called Richard J. Needham writes a' daily newspaper column in Toronto. Quali- ty and content range from high-class to hog- wash, but it is eminently readable. Needham is not a true humorist, but has a sharp satiric sense, a wild" imagination, and a clear view of the ridiculosity of many of our moral, social, political and economic fairy tales. - Despite the ¢lear view, he is an incorrigible romantic, a 1966 model Don Quixote who tilts at windmills with a typewriter, forces flowers on strange ladies, and thinks of life and love in capital letters. He's a literary burglar and a bellowing non-conformist. In- teresting fellow, ® But he has a couple of blind spots. He . hates the educational system and has a blat- ant contempt for today's young people. Sounds psychological. Perhaps he was turfed out of school, or dropped out, or had some rotten teachers. But he despises the whole business. For him, the educational system is a vast, soul-less monolith, whose sole aim is to crush the spirit of youth, indoctrinate it with all the wrong ideas, and fail to teach it anything about LIFE. He's great on LIFE. -- For him, teachers are a bunch of dull clods, whose only desire is to stuff kids with use- less information and promptly squelch any signs of initiative or creativity. For him, modern students are a sorry lot, unadventurous, inarticulate, security-minded . and materialistic. Well, I'm here to tell brother Needham it's time he got into the twentieth century. His ideas are pure poppycock. Sure, the educational system is a vast Sugar and Spice monolith. What do you do with 6,000,000 kids? Shove them into the streets to learn about LIFE? But it's far from soul-less. On the contrary, it's composed of men and wo- men with intelligence, goodwill and under- standing, who work tirelessly to improve the system for the benefit of the students, Sure, teachers are dull clods. Some of them. Just as some doctors, lawyers, mini- sters and columnists are dull clods. But the great majority work their heads to the bone, shoving, urging, exhorting, encouraging and leading the youngsters to adulthood. And the students? Are they a sad, beaten crowd, cowed by authority, eager for security, afraid to think for themselves? This is what Mr. Needham, with his Victorian view of schools, would-have us beleve. Hah! A few are. But the majority are just the opposite. They. are rebellious, daring, adven- turous, and just busting to have a whirl at - life, as youngsters have been since the time of Socrates. Right now my son, who is 19, is either hitch-hiking across Canada, on his way home, or headed for Mexico. We're not sure. Right now, my daughter who ig 15, is belting out folk songs which she wrote herself, to keep her mind off her sore ears. She had them pierced yesterday, for earrings. And right now, all over town, 1,200 kids from our high school are ignoring their home- : work and watching TV, or shooting pool, or gassing on the phone, or falling in love, or riding motor-cycles, They're certainly not cowed by authority, or squelched by the sys- tem, or indoctrinated by anything, except human nature. Don't be naive, Mr. Needham. --Toronto Telegram News Service. The following gentlemen take the place of the coun- cillors who resigned: Messrs. G. H. Hutcheson, C. L.
